RE: Bulova Accutron space view
My camera is on loan to someone else at the moment, so I had to resort to using a flatbed scanner for this image. It's not the most flattering image, but hopefully will provide enough detail for you to see what it is.

The scanner uses LEDs for illumination, and those appear to have introduced some odd coloration in certain areas that aren't present on the actual watch (yellow-red banding near the top of the crystal, yellow and blue coloring on interior pieces near the middle under the hour-hand). Seeing it at this magnification leads me to believe that it may have undergone some form of servicing at some point, as there are a couple of screws (at the 6 o'clock position) that have obviously been turned.

I remember both my grandfather and my father wearing it daily for many years, so it should come as no surprise that the watch shows obvious signs of the resulting wear. If it helps in your assessment, the date code is M6 (1966?) and serial number starts with "A" (American manufacture?). Any insight is greatly appreciated:
